    Nepenthes peristome more effective when wet

    I had read that Nep peristomes were more effective when wet, and seen a video on youtube of this and decided to give it a go. Lately hundreds of ants have been all over my N. truncata pitchers. I decided to give the pitcher a light mist right on the peristome. As soon as this occurred of course...

    Video clip: N. campanulata and ants

    There was a stray ant near my growing area and I transferred it on my N. campanulata plant. Few moments later, there were ants partying on the lid of one of the pitchers. The party lasted for a couple hours, and when it was over, there were quite a lot of ants in the pitcher. Managed to take a...

    First meal

    My tiny D. adelae sprout is rolling right along, despite getting a bit of sunburn (I think), so I decided to feed it a dead pharaoh ant. It had this ant wrapped up in tentacles for a couple of days; now it seems to be slipping off the leaf. Here it is - my first bugdinner - in all the glory of...

    Native ants vs. Cane toads (in Australia)

    In Australia they believe they can use the native meat ant to kill of the young toads as they morph into adults. Its very interesting, and a very good idea. Also it has a little pun in their, ants DO have hearts, just the toads toxin can't harm them. :nono...

    MY hobby

    lol, I keep ant colonies. Here is my new Camponotus colony. They are known as carpenter ants because they love to nest in strong, yet soft moist wood and not the ground. Ok here are the pictures, the queen is somewhere under one of the ant piles. This species has queens that don't like to wake...

    Camponotus Ant Mutualism

    This was fascinating. I've been studying Environmental Bio my whole life and just learned about this on the Science channel. I'm going to let my wife know about this. She is a Bio teacher and it would be a good symbiosis class example of mutualism. Were all of you familiar with this? Learn...
